The team at HM Turbos is excited to be heading a project to transform a 2015 AXYS Chassis Pro-X into an all-out deep snow mountain sled. The new Polaris AXYS chassis will provide the platform for the build and will be sporting the latest in HM Turbos turbocharging technology and will be the basis for the model year 2016 RMK Turbo Kits. A 163” track will be fitted to a mountain tuned rear suspension, as well as a custom front suspension. The new Polaris 800 H.O. engine will provide the power plant for the sled, and should make some impressive HP numbers with boost from HM Turbos. The new turbo setup will be the best kit yet from HM Turbos, with features including the latest in fuel and ignition control technology as well as features and designs never seen before. We would like to open this thread for suggestions for what you, the customers, would like to see for features on the new turbo setup. Come take a look at the sled in the Van Amburg booth at the Puyallup, Spokane, and Boise Snow Shows.

The previous thread had gotten distracted and off topic.
That thread is closed, but it's intact and you can still view the content.

I have been in contact with HM Turbos.
They would like to see their turbo threads stay on topic and focused.

Their original post has been copied to a new thread for a fresh start.

Once HM Turbos has some more info about his new product vendor, this project or updated pictures to post then I can open it back up for discussion.

A couple of questions for HM Turbos that have been PM'd to me:

Are you keeping track of weight taken off?
Weight added?
Are you riveting or structurally bonding the tunnel to the bulkhead?
Belt drive or chain case?
What front end?
Rear suspension?

Basically want to know how close this will be to what I predict a 2016 pro to look like plus a turbo

From Shane Hart @ HM Turbos:
I will take some pics of the chassis at the Puyallup Snow Show.
The chassis will be at the VanAmburg booth at the show.

The sled will be back in my shop after the Boise show.
Will have a 163 with Kmod complete rear skid with Raptors and a 2.5" Camo and Wahl drivers.

Front end won't be done yet as the arms are still being built to narrow it up.

If you time it just right and you'll just only have to get yourself here.

If I could figure out how to get three days total riding. I would be packing my bags. Can't drive out to ride one day. Unless part of the trip was leaving my sled with Shane. :face-icon-small-sho

I have begging people all week. Can't find anyone to roll. :face-icon-small-sad

Didn't get to ride the TAxys. Plans changed for Shane. I didn't expect him to go ride with some hick from SD. I did get to look the sled over. It is a very impressive piece with great ideas.

After meeting Shane and Levi. Hearing some technical info and details. It also appeared they are just like me. Very meticulous. If I was buying a Axys kit, there is no question this would be the one.

Justin, I'm glad you got to see it.
Too bad you didn't get to ride Blacky. It is a ripper. I should have asked him to take it out on Sunday.

Your only 16 hrs from the answers your looking for. Just have to put in a little effort to get them.

Scott ... We should have forgot about mine on Monday and taken Blacky. Either way I got to see the attention to detail in the kits. Talking to Shane and Levi in person was enough to sell me. The technical data Levi has is unreal.

I know. Shane needs to trademark and copyright Levi.
